I will be posting new work from Seong il on my dropbox site. It's been far too long that I've been able to get anything from the young master. This will feature side handle teapots, teapots, servers, and tea caddys. Please check back here for the link as soon as I process the photos and descriptions.

Yes, I'm quite impressed with the level of work from both of them. Seong il really created a lot of servers. Green tea drinkers who like servers without handles can really get their wabi sabi fix with these.

The large tea bowls are an homage to the traditional style that were popularized in the Joson Dynasty. Almost every serious potter does a version of these and Japan's museums hold some of the most revered bowls in this style. Prices can skyrocket according to the maker. Many new bowls are priced in the thousands of dollars in Korea.
